EXAM PREPARATION
Prepare with purpose.
Practice with a plan.
Try a real task. Practice with support. Use what you learn in a new situation.
What Reading and Writing asks you to do
College Board groups this section into four areas: Information and Ideas, Craft and Structure, Expression of Ideas, and Standard English Conventions. Tasks use short texts or paired texts with multiple-choice questions. Read the official section guide.
A practical skill sequence
- Find the main idea, then identify the words or data that support an answer.
- Work out word meaning and a writer’s purpose from context.
- Choose revisions that connect ideas and serve the writing goal.
- Review sentence structure, usage and punctuation in meaningful text.
Use official practice alongside language study
English for Study offers a route into reading and evidence-based summaries. For SAT-format practice, use College Board’s Reading and Writing question bank.
After a practice item, explain why your answer fits the text and why another option does not. If vocabulary blocked you, practice it in a new sentence before trying a different text.
